GOod newes, true hearts, heare this, And be no longer sad: Though things have bin amisse, Yet now we may be glad: Some were abusive, and too blame, Yet all shall wel e're long Reformed be, let's blesse Gods name: The Parliament goes on. Those that have been ill members In Church and Common-weale, And prov'd themselves dissemblers, Their Knaveries to heale, Shall plainly be unmaskt, and then Must suffer for the wrong, Whereby they have opprest poore men, The Parliament goes on. Some would have brought curs'd Popery Into this blessed Isle, With Masses, Crosses, Foppery, fear'd, within a while. Their Beads and Holy-water Were false, and smelt too strong: But better newes came after: The Parliament, etc. No tricks of mans inventions Can crosse our just desires, Though base be the intentions Of Jesuites and Friers, That would obscure, if they knew how, The truth of every tongue; But they'l be more discover'd now: The Parliament, etc. Where sneake your lame Projectors That did mens means devour, The Common-wealths infectors, Whilst they had any power. Poor children oft might want their bread, By tricks they snatcht it from Them; but such Rascalls names are spred: The Parliament, etc. The Judge unjust doth tremble, When Truth doth come to light;
Nor dares stay to dissemble, But run away by night. The conscience will declare most cleare, What mischiefes men have done; For now things plainly do appeare, The Parliament goes on. Such men as have been faithfull To God, King, State, and Land, Though vitious men be hatefull, Yet honest men will stand, To venture coine and goods, nay this, Their life, even all they can, For truths sake, and true hearts that wish The Parliament goe on. Alas we helplesse Commons, Our hearts began to bleed,
To sweare to the new Cannons, Et Caetera, indeed: We might inthral'd ourselves thereby, If such a thred we 'ad spun: But we had grace them to deny, The Parliament goes on. Thus were we pincht and streitned, Nay almost stupify'de In sence, yet now well wakened By the true supreme Guide, Who never any heart forsakes, Whichever rests upon God, and his cares to him betakes: The Parliament goes on. To take the Protestation, Good subjects strive and chuse; No friends unto our Nation I thinke them that refuse. Religion must be perfect pure, Not wavering to turne, Then God will be with us, be sure, The Parliament, etc. 2 Chr.15.12. Jam.1.27. Jam.1.6 Matth. 28.20. The King, Queen, and royall Progeny, God blesse with many yeares. Lord, to this Nation ne're deny Good honest noble Peeres; That wee reposing all our trust, In thee may flourish still: Then all our Foes shall be acurst, In hatching any ill. The Members of our Parliament, Lord give them happy dayes, With grace and truth, with one consent, Direct in all their wayes, That all may for thy glory stand, Unto Eternity, Lord crowne them in the Blessed Land, Amen, Amen, say I.
